Ok helpful function: GetClosestInfectedSpawnNavLocation(player) or something. Returns a location where infected can spawn that's close to a specific player. Idk, I'm having trouble with z_spawn positions.

PostSpawn() seems to work for like 2% of the cases. Would it be possible to get a better spawn listener? Thanks

Apparently the date() function (part of the Squirrel Standard Lib) doesn't exist. The function would have been useful for a file-logging class. How hard would it be to get that standard function back on?

It's the Hscript for the player who will show up as having said the line. Dunno what happens if you pass null or an invalid player.

I see, thanks. Do you know if the the messages are SayText or SayText2? I tried passing in colors (e.g. 0x05) to no avail.

Question. What is the srcScript argument for Say()?

Yay! Thanks Kerry!

Now VSLib can grow further :D I restarted the documentation for it... I think I will release it after ChangeLevel is finished. I'm working on the feature list right now... a 1/4 done with the HUD feature list

Not like it will matter for most cases, but ent.GetButtonMask() returns nothing pressed when a player is FL_FROZEN, such as charging, etc.

That's weird, it worked for me when I tried it. When are you reading the button mask?

Indeed that would be cool, although I wish us good luck having that new entity coded in the middle of the beta, heh. If adding a get/set function for netprops takes a significant amount of engineering...

It's easier IMO to add a fake client with IVEngineServer::CreateFakeClient() with a netname of "SurvivorBot," then dispatch a keyvalue with classname = "SurvivorBot" and then set its model to a survivor model with CBasePlayer::SetModel(). In other words, if they add a function to add/remove bots and a function to set entity models, we can spawn as many l4d2 bots as we want (well, up to the client limit and/or server bandwidth). The one thing that bothers me is setting the actual name of the entity. From the c++ side we could get the IPlayerInfo pointer and const_cast that GetName() return and modify it that way (for a half cooked name change), but there's a function somewhere in server.dll that handles the actual name change. Then we can just make the bot walk around and strike up conversations via a script.

Still, generic npcs would be awesome, but I doubt it would be added.

You could see if the damagetype == 2056, although I'm not sure if that is a characteristic of molotovs too (fire damagetype == 8, ignite/burn is 2056). There's also zombie_ignited, but that only fires for zombies I assume.

But yeah, a way to get the entity's flags would be wonderful. That'll also enable us to detect FL_INWATER, FL_ONGROUND, and FL_DUCKING too.

Looks like Squirrel is using 8-bit ASCII characters. Would it be possible re-compile with SQUNICODE[www.squirrel-lang.org] defined so we can use international characters like ñ in the HUD?
